In another twist in Hollywood’s heavyweight division, Anthony Joshua has just accepted an offer (in principle) to fight Tyson Fury this year.
Today we report that Tyson Fury has called AJ out for scrap ‘for the next few months‘, following news that Oleksandr Usyk won’t see him in the ring for the undisputed crown until 2023. Fury follows with some other prodigies at Joshuawho was just two weeks after his defeat to the Ukrainian champions.

It’s not clear if ‘King Gypsy’ ever considered accepting the challenge, but that’s exactly what happened. AJ replies to Tyson’s tweet at 9:35 p.m.
“Calm down. I don’t do online discussions just to make an impact, so if you’re serious about it shout 258 MGT [AJ’s management company]. I will be ready in December. Khalas. “

As of time of writing, Fury has yet to respond – although it is certainly on its way. Is the desire to fight from both worth reading? Know boxing, probably not yet – but it’s certainly another tentative step towards the battle for England.
To protect its potential, Fury wanted to fight, and he was told by Usyk on the unlikely condition that the undisputed would have to wait. From AJ’s perspective, there’s no bigger comeback than facing ‘The Gypsy King’. He has no belt to lose, and His team has expressed a wish that he fights more often. On top of that, it’s a super fight with the potential to break records, so that should help.
However, the list of possible reasons the fight won’t happen is long and, pairing it with the memory of the two agreeing to fight at the beginning of the year only to have it settled, means this can The possibility of reciprocity remains on the internet.
However, if both are ready and ready then the fight will be closer than yesterday – and boxing fans can’t be blamed for allowing a bit of optimism now and again.
